Special Cable Dispstch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The present distress Of some
Of the poorer workers In London Is shown by the
fact that the lord mayor has started q scheme for
relief works, laying out open spaces for play
grounds to cost 100000. The dinaculty OF plans
like this is that the relief is temporary and after
ward the distress is greater than ever, owing to
the great influx of the lab0r1ng population to
share the new wages fund, as In Paris after the
building Of the flne new boulevards, at cost OF
the Paris labor market Is overstocked In conse-
Quence, adding to the INDECENT a. well as the
criminal classea as proved by statisticS The
lord mayor hopes to obvtste such objections as
much as possible by insisting on the good charac-
acter OF the applicants Tor work: also proof OF at
least sfX months re1idence In London.

A Proposed New Road System.-Ata re-
cent meeting of the Deer Creek Farmers Club the
principal discussion was upon new system of
providing for the construction and repair of public
roads, The new plan does not take the work of
repairing the roads out of the hands of farmers
and tax payers, but provides that the work shall
be done by them, as now, but under competent su-
pervision and instruction. To accomplish this re-
suit the construction and repair of the county roads
is made seperate and distinct branch of the
ty government, as its great Importance deserves
that it should be made. The new plan provides
that three road commissioners shall be elected by
the people, this road board to appoint county
road engineer. The latter to be person skilled
in all the details of laying out, constructing and
repairing roads, and to be answerable to the road
board for the manner in which his duties are per-
formed, and generally to see that road and bridge
contracts are performed faithfully and the public
roads mended judiciously. The road board is to
designate the persons to whom road warrants are
to be given and to exercise q general oversight
over all matters pertaining to the public roads.
The evying of the road money is to be left now,
entirely with the County Commissioners, who can
thereby hold the purse-strings against any ex-
travagsnce or Encouragement of the road funds.
It was the opinion of the members of the club that
the new plan proposed an important and salutary
change in the road system by which its efficiency
can be increased without necessarily increasing its
cost. The only persons who could possibly object
would be the County Commissioners, since it takes
out of their hands the appointment of road super
visors, but this is small matter compared with
the good of an entire community. The report of
the committee is to be submitted to the other
farmers clubs of the county, and if approved by
them and by the public generally, an effort will be
made to secure the necessary legislation to carry
it into effect.
